Too many young males have missed out on this potentially life-saving vaccination. Among other serious diseases, #HPV can cause mouth, penile and anal cancers - schoolboys should not be left without protection from these deadly illnesses. #JabsForTheBoystheguardian.com/society/2018/…

We are eager to see change, not just in the UK but across the world. Gender-neutral vaccination for #HPV should be universal and would undoubtedly help prevent countless lives being effected by HPV-related diseases in the future. #JabsForTheBoystwitter.com/Globalmenhealt…

The decision to include boys in the nationwide #HPV vaccination programme is one that will prove to be significantly positive. But many years have already past without them having protection - we need a quick and effective roll out ASAP. #JabsForTheBoysdentalhealth.org/news/charity…
